La Porxada (původní edice)

Úvod

Více informací o samotném rozšíření naleznete v Carcapedii Carcassonne CZ fóra.

La Porxada je historický objekt ve španělském městě Granollers. Byla postavena v půlce XVI. století na příkaz městské rady. Nachází se v historické městské čtvrti před radnicí. Svého času sloužila tato stavba jako dobytčí trh a místo pro obchodování se zemědělskými produkty. Během občanské války byla zničena italským letectvem a později znovu postavena.

La Porxada je samozvané mini rozšíření, které obsahuje pouze jednu kartičku. O jejím místě ve světě Carcassonne se vedou neustálé spory - někteří ji považují za zcela neoficiální rozšíření, protože Hans im Glück ji nikdy neschválil. Ti, kteří argumentují touto stranou, poznamenávají, že kartička byly jednoduše samolepka přilepená na kartičce. Rozšíření však schválil sám Klaus-Jürgen Wrede (na BoardGameGeek.com je dokonce i obrázek podepsané kartičky), takže jde o více, než jen o rozšíření fanoušků. Nakonec La Porxada existuje v polooficiálním limbu a jednotliví hráči musí sami rozhodnout, pokud jde o povahu rozšíření.

Herní materiál

• 1 nová kartička krajiny s La Porxadou

Kartička s La Porxadou

Kromě toho potřebujete :

• 6 žetonů: Doporučuje se použít dřevěné kostky, papírové koule nebo dokonce zmačkané fotokopie kartičky La Porxada, jak to dělají někteří hráči.

Pravidla

Příprava hry  

Kartička se smíchá se všemi ostatními kartičkami použitými ve hře.

Přiložení kartičky  

Vytáhne-li si hráč kartičku s La Porxadou, vyloží ji před sebe a rozhodne se pro jednu z následujících dvou možností:

1. Vyměnit družiníka v aktuálním tahu hráče
2. Bodovací bonus na konci hry

If the player chose to swap followers after placing this tile, the player may exchange one of his own followers with a follower of another player. Both followers must be currently in play. The chosen player can negate the exchange, but if so, he or she must eliminate one of his or her followers for the remainder of the game. If the player who places La Porxada does not have any followers in play, he or she cannot choose this option.

Scoring

If the city with La Porxada is completed and the player chose the scoring bonus, all players with followers in the city at that moment (no matter the majority) will get a token as a reminder of their presence.

The city with La Porxada will be scored as usual if completed.

Final scoring

If the player chose the scoring bonus at the end of the game, all players who had a knight in the city containing La Porxada when it was completed, and therefore got a token, will score all their unfinished cities containing followers as if they were finished. This scoring bonus will only occur if the city containing La Porxada is finished.

Other expansions

The bonus provided by La Porxada affects all players who were present in the city with La Porxada when completed. During final scoring, it will allow those players to score their incomplete cities as if completed during the game. So the cities will still be incomplete to all effects but they are scored like completed cities as an exception.

In order to make this possible, we should score each incomplete city as in a bubble: they should be considered as completed for all its occupiers for scoring purposes, but no one else would notice. As a consequence, farms touching those incomplete cities will not consider them in their scoring even if the city itself was scored as completed.

This would affect the number of points per tile and pennant, cathedrals, and other bonuses applied during the game to the city itself. Two cases should be considered:

• Points and scoring modifiers applicable during the game and after the game but may differ: In this case, you apply them as if during the game:
  • Basic points for city tiles and pennants: 2 points per tile, 2 points per pennant (applied as if during the game).
  • Cathedral: +1 point per tile, +1 point per coat of arms (applied as if during the game).
  • Cathars / Siege /Besiegers: -1 point per tile, - 1 point per pennant (no change).
  • Mage: +1 point per tile (no change).
  • Witch: 1/2 points before applying other feature-level bonuses (no change).
  • Little Buildings: +1 point (basic rules) or +1/2/3 points (variant rules) per little building (no change).
  • Ringmaster: 2 points per neighboring acrobat space and circus space (no change).
  • Fairy: +3 points (no change).

• Scoring modifiers and bonuses applied during the game only:
  • Gingerbread Man: 1 point per tile for each follower the player has in the city. The Gingerbread Man shouldn't move from the city in order to avoid any chain reaction (applied as if during the game but without side effects).
  • Watchtowers: Points according to watchtower (applied as if during the game).
  • The Land Surveyors: The scoring tiles are not considered after the game. It may be agreed to apply the active scoring tile for cities after the last scoring during the game. This means that scoring tiles should be left as is when the game ends but they are not taken into consideration during final scoring, except when scoring the La Porxada bonus for any incomplete city.
  • German castle: +3 points (applied as if during the game).
  • Bathhouse: +bathhouse points (applied as if during the game but without side effects). Sending followers to a free bathhouse during final scoring makes no sense.
  • Darmstadtium: +3 points (applied as if during the game).
  • Markets of Leipzig (Coiners quarter): +3 points per coat of arms (applied as if during the game). This bonus is not applied after the game but this may be an exception. The followers in the city Leipzig should not be removed until the end of the final scoring, not only for the Tanners quarter bonus affecting farms in this case.

What happens to other scorings and bonuses triggered by the scoring of a completed feature?

We would need some additional considerations at this point, since we are performing the scoring once the game has ended. There are some actions related to scoring during the game that cannot happen anymore:

• Teacher: Does not apply during final scoring since no actual features were completed by a tile placement and no specific order for scoring features, so it should be ignored even if the player with the teacher is scoring a city affected by La Porxada bonus (See this clarification: The School (1st edition))
• Castles: They are not considered during final scoring except for farms and barns. Their occupiers are removed before final scoring, so no castle scoring can be triggered. In any case, no actual completed city is being scored so no castle could receive any points for them.
• Robbers: Do not apply after the game. They are removed before the final scoring starts.
• Messages: Do not apply after the game. There is no active player during final scoring so no player may receive messages.

As a conclusion, we should apply the bubble principle to the scoring of those incomplete cities belonging to players affected by La Porxada bonus. For the sake of consistency, no side effects should be triggered by the tweaked scoring of these "fortunate" cities.

House rules

For option #2 (scoring bonus), a player can only get the bonus if he or she has a follower in the city at the end of the game. If the city is completed during the game, it is not scored and is still considered “incomplete” – each player with followers in the city has the option to remove any or all of his or her followers at that time. Any followers left in the city remain until the end of the game unless removed by other game mechanics. Thus there is a sacrifice required to get the end-game bonus, as a follower must be invested until the end of the game. Because the city with La Porxada is always considered incomplete, though, mechanics including the dragon, tower, plague, crop circles, flier, and magic portal are all relevant, as the city could be entered as an incomplete (and potentially unoccupied) feature throughout the game.

Note #1: The city with La Porxada is scored using normal ownership rules at the end of the game after all other cities are scored.

Note #2: A completed city with La Porxada is considered complete for the purposes of scoring farms at the end.

Note #3: When playing with the City of Carcassonne, followers can be deployed from the City of Carcassonne to a feature when that feature scores. Because the La Porxada city does not score until the final bonus is counted at the end of the game, players may not move followers into the city with La Porxada from the City of Carcassonne until that time.
